The heading of this section should be read subject to the proviso that, although it includes G 2/10, that decision was still too recent at the time of publication to have led to any noteworthy decisions beyond those cited in point 1.4.1. above. The section is therefore still mainly concerned with decisions applying G 1/03 and G 2/03.

Many of the decisions initially issued by the boards pursuant to the Enlarged Board's decisions on disclaimers related to the nature of accidental anticipation in the specific cases at issue. However, their more recent decisions have concerned the drafting of disclaimers, which must not remove more than is necessary.
